the only thing i am a bit feeling akward towards your piece is if the twin linked bolter suffices enough in the role as a gig gun... other than that it looks really promising... and it´s good to have you back!!!

Me too, but so far i've heard it would do if it seemed immobile... So i'll probably rivet it to the floor

yes... that would make it immobile^^

and i´ve read the judges allow it... so this is all good^^

Some progress report on my tale of two contests adventure. It actually become just 1 contest, because after my brilliant plan everybody decided to mix the contests of Brian and the League, resulting in Brian deciding that entries that were not unique would get minussus on score. So i dropped out of that contest, specially since i had gotten permission first. Not that it mattered, because it now means the base of my gun emplacement will be bigger, and will contain lots more debris... Anyways, just some progress to show, not nearly done. Feel free to comment after looking at the pictures:













And to keep in spirit of the original plan i had, some progress on a second contest, the bad ass contest:



The bike is meant to be the ride for my bad ass biker (chick) probably... Its from a kinder surprise egg... All the other stuff is all for the gun emplacement contest. I'm keeping the gun for last

Shoot guys, lemme know what i should improve

improve???

where, how?

i see so much win... your shed looks so lovley... so much detail... and you have an eye for scale i have to say... those junk bags... awesome!!!what did you use to fill these up? what size would that be?

the bike looks quite good... i am a bit uneasy currently on the paintjob as it feels a bit uneven...brushstrokes and so on... but very akira like!

Nice job has an east Asia feel to it, you know those shacks they build over there.

Once again the rubbish bags are just the dogs you know whats never get tired of seeing them also like the pallets and boxes nice scratch builds

As for the bike needs a new paint job as Vik mentioned, looks a little scratchy unless thats the look you're going for.

You got a picture of a mini next to it ? I never get anything like that in my kinder eggs I always get crappy craft things

The4 bike is not at all as it should be, its just to show what exactly it looks like. It will have a nice flashy glossy paintjob.

The bags are just plain garbage bags, cut to a size of about a cm across and 5 high.
Folded, filled with a tissue, and tied down with a garden wire it looks the part.

The pallets are stolen from on-site here, don't know who i saw do it, but they work! The boxes are cardstock and math... I did that at school once, and for a reason lolz...

As for the kinder eggs... the secret is to buy one every time ya go shopping. After twenty or so bugs bunnies you will eventually get something usefull... A coming project will be three racing cars i have from those eggs, which next to a 22mm model look like a scale car to them. So a model with a remote, the cars filled with dynamite, and presto, missile launcher proxy

Thanx a lot for the feedback guys, its appreciated.
I hope I will do the bike justice. Now to finish the paintjob on the shed. It will recieve at least 4 dirt washes.

Also, did ya guys notice the paper below the model? Tiny newspaper pages? They will also be scattered all about.

Dam missed the paper they look ace where did you find the link for them ? I have some 40K posters and some papers Galorn sent me but those look pretty cool.

As for buying a kinder egg each time I go have you seen the price of those dam things they aint cheap and having a draw full of monkeys, rabbits, dinosaurs along with spiny kaleidoscope things I could not cope with LOL

LDD... concerning the paper:

Google newspaper ( add another term like zombie for more specific newspapers)

Save the image

Open word

Load up the image

Adjust size

Presto

Works for posters and such too:

oh yeah... the newspaper totally escaped me...^^
sometimes i wonder with kinder eggs contens too... but i never had then a model for scale comperance with me...i knew eventually someone would be able to work with these...

I have a mac with no word program

Lovely shed and trash and posters!! I've been googling those same Fallout posters recently.

Sorry about the contest. I voted you be allowed.

Thanx for the support Dave. It wasn't that much of an issue really, it allows me to focus more on groundwork and littering now

LDD... Buy a decent pc, buy windows!
But seriously, doesn't MAC allow you to add pictures to a program so you can adjust size and print the simple way...???

Yes..he just doesn't want to learn

You know me to well

I will try and have ago there must be something somewhere on this thing

Progress:

now that looks sexy as help!!!!
And the bikeress looks very fitting!

I thought you would have painted her by now looks great but you all ready know that

I like the bike, but I'm hoping you'll add a few more colors.

She will have sponsors, decals and race numbers
Ow yeah, and weathering and chipping of course

Hey Maus, those garbage bags are amazing - gotta try me that technique. Hut also looking amazing, as LDD said, It has a certain vibe to it that makes me think Vietnam...

The bike, wow that's some Kinder Surprise there. For some reason though I'm imagining the Kill Bill paint job for it and rider

Now that would be a cool idea too... Tho instead of yellow red would look cool as is too! Not too sure about the decals tho

It'll be subtle racy, but not Superbike like racy. It will be glossy, and then damaged and chipped... Nothing stays new in a necropocalypse, not even bass ass chicks on bad ass bikes

Of course you won't disappoint us

I'll surely try not to...

.>And don't call me Shirley!

Looks like a plan coming together

Its coming together slowly yeah Shaso, thanx

Moar progress, playing with her pose, settled on this sort-of getting on her bike gunning pose finally... required a lot of cutting up stuff, and a fair amount of green stuff so far.
She will be blonde...





The base is Rivitzone by the way, excellent bases made by local god Galorn...

Have you considered to maker asien?
Looks very badass already...but what kinda gun will she wield?

Thats the million dollar question Vik... I have no idea yet. I've tried different gun ideas already, but the Dark Eldar arms look really flimsy when holding a lasgun or bolter type weapon. So i'm open to ideas on the weaponry...

Anyone got a mac-10 laying around?

Asian... hrm... Darn you boys and your ideas...
Asian is a very good option really...
